As an AVP, you will combine deep technical expertise in Dev Ops practices with strong leadership capabilities. You will drive "Automation First" strategies, mentor junior and mid-level engineers, and collaborate with cross-functional global teams to deliver high-quality software solutions that align with Citi's strict architectural, security, and regulatory standards.

• Pipeline Design & Optimization:
  Design, build, and maintain end-to-end automated CI/CD pipelines using enterprise-grade tools (e.g., Jenkins, Tekton, Harness, Git Lab CI).
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC):
  Author and manage reusable, modular IaC configurations using Terraform and Ansible to provision and manage hybrid cloud environments.
• Toil Reduction:
  Proactively identify manual bottlenecks in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and implement automated solutions to eliminate them.
• Configuration Management:
  Manage environment configurations dynamically, ensuring consistency across Development, UAT, and Production environments.

• Workstream Leadership:
  Act as a technical lead for Dev Ops initiatives, guiding engineering teams on modern branching strategies, deployment patterns, and release management.
• Mentorship & Talent Development:
  Coach and mentor junior and mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning, high engineering standards, and innovation.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  
  Partner closely with Developers, QA, Security, and Operations teams across global regions to align Dev Ops strategies with business goals.
• Best Practices Champion:
  Establish and advocate for Dev Ops best practices, ensuring teams adopt standardized tools and methodologies.

• Container Orchestration:
  Manage, scale, and secure containerized workloads using Kubernetes and Red Hat Open Shift.

  Support cloud migration initiatives (primarily AWS) and manage cloud-native infrastructure with a focus on high availability, scalability, and cost optimization.
• Hybrid Environments:
  Maintain and bridge legacy on-premises infrastructure with modern cloud environments.

• Security Integration:
  Integrate security scanning tools (e.g., Snyk, Sonar Qube, Checkmarx, Black Duck) directly into CI/CD pipelines to enforce "Shift Left" security.
• Vulnerability Remediation:
  Proactively identify, track, and remediate infrastructure and pipeline vulnerabilities.
• Regulatory Compliance:
  Ensure all deployment processes and infrastructure comply with Citi's strict risk, control, and regulatory frameworks (including change management and audit requirements).

• Monitoring & Alerting:
  Implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Splunk, App Dynamics) to ensure system reliability.
• Resilience Engineering:
  Participate in incident resolution, root-cause analysis (RCA), and post-mortem reviews to drive continuous improvement in system resilience.

• Education:
  
  Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience:
  
  3-5+ years of experience in Dev Ops, Systems Engineering, or Software Development, with at least 2 years in a technical leadership, workstream lead, or mentoring capacity.

• CI/CD Tools:
  Proficient with Jenkins, Harness, Tekton, or similar enterprise pipeline tools.
• Infrastructure as Code:
  Strong, hands‑on experience with Terraform and Ansible.
• Containers & Orchestration:
  Deep understanding of Docker, Kubernetes, and Red Hat Open Shift.
• Cloud Platforms:
  Solid experience with public cloud platforms, preferably AWS (AWS certifications are a plus).
• Scripting/Programming:
  Strong scripting skills in…
